Things not to be shared in public

Novelist and screenwriter Pamela Ribon’s memoir, “Notes to Boys (and Other Things I Shouldn’t Share in Public)” publishes Tuesday. As her book trailer (a cut above your average book trailer) explains, Ribon has gone back to her early writings to tell stories that are amusing and embarrassing.

Ribon has always been funny and frank on her blog Pamie.com; in her new book she goes further, revealing what she wrote to teenage crushes. Be ready for awkward. And some bad teen poetry.
